Curious. Monk vs Mage pet

[Selene]

Just for giggles…can a 60 monk with epic and decent gear beat a 57 mage earth pet with burnout and DS applied, 1v1? How about epic mage pet vs monk? Curious to hear what you guys have seen lolll

Self buffed monk not using clickies with charges and not just attacking the mage?

I doubt a 57 Earth would beat even a 60 monk with a normal 2h. With buffs, the Earth can’t mow through a geonid without the mage casting DD’s where most 60 melees can. In fact, it also can’t kill Jacker solo which is another low bar for a geared melee solo in the high 50’s to 60.

The damage shield if not dispelled might be the only issue, especially the epic 50pt one. Without channeling clicking a golem wand isn’t easy. It’s especially bad if anyone opts to dual wield.

I’ve always been more interested how the various mage pets stack up against EoT than another player character.

I've never dueled a 57 earth mage pet, but I'd assume I could wreck one. That's with ~1300AC and a Shovel of the Harvest.

As Snaggles said: I can solo mobs that a mage pet cannot.

At 60, I would have at least 12 levels on the pet. (Max level pet is 48) https://wiki.project1999.com/Pet_Guide#Earth_Pets

My max hit with the shovel is ~ 275 with no buffs. Flying kick is ~150? i think
Pet's max hit is 60, Kick damage is 28, Root Damage is 58.

With muzzle and Burnout, pet has 76% haste.
With epic and 40% worn, I have 80% haste.

We both have around 3k HP.

It seems close, but I think the real difference would be the level difference. I will land much more hits on a level 48 mob than the level 48 mob would land on me. Plus, I get mend and stonestance. Without any help from the mage I think it would be Monk wins with 40%+ HP remaining.

Epic pet is a different story. More HP, More melee damage, a stun, Better regen, a proc, better damage shield. That I am curious to see.
